Wests Tigers Centre of Excellence

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Pretty exciting WT will enter 2023 with an actual plan, a clear direction, money, state of the art facilities and a pathways program set up to provide success, all for the very first time following what will (likely) be the club’s first spoon. A long time coming in fairness.

Are you in the construction industry? I don't think anyone can reasonably comment on the current state of major construction sites unless they either (a) work in the field, or (b) just themselves completed a major construction.

I could speculate until the cows come home but I wouldn't have a clue what is a typical construction over-run in 2022.

I am and a 8 month overrun is becoming more typical. Still unacceptable though….

Notice there's been a number of companies that have collapsed since Covid.

A lot of them bought contracts and got caught out.
Those who routinely do this deserve their fate.

Covering all the extra hours is a killer.

Staffing is a massive issue

Covering all the extra hours is a killer.

Material costs, hourly rates, it’s not been like this in my time.

I have concerns that when the current squad turns up, we may be evicted.

A severe shortage of excellence at the moment.

Tradesmen are mercenaries at the moment. Sell your arse to the highest bidder.
If you have even half a clue how to promote yourself and/or run a business, you will cash in big.

Yeh was referring to hospitality.
Heaps of ppl overextended and lost due to staffing.

So they will all look pretty without a hair out of place when they stand behind the goalposts?

The opening of COE. Our shining light in a bleak year.

 

[The SHADOW]

Cant wait for the water 💦 slides 🛝 up and down the ladder. Splashes will be made for sure.

“In the end it comes down to the culture and the people and the standards”

Wise words from Pascoe and the reason he needs to move on.

Yep, not unusual to see major developments run behind into at least 12 months.

Did an install in Newcastle last year that opened 10 months after the fact. Rain, lockdowns, material lead times were all factors.

Material lead times alone are a killer. There's plant from Europe that I used to be able to order and have lob up 13 weeks later on the slow boat. It's out to 32 weeks now.

Huge shortages as well in the trades. Kids don't want to do them anymore.
